Our company engaged Stephen Dellinger after a former employee filed a wrongful termination lawsuit alleging discrimination. From our initial consultation, his deep experience was evident. He didn't just recite legal principles; he drew on his 36 years of practice to outline a clear, strategic defense tailored to North Carolina employment law. His background in employment litigation and his recognition in management-side labor and employment law were exactly what we needed. Stephen guided our HR team through the discovery process with precision, and his counsel during depositions was invaluable. Ultimately, he negotiated a very favorable settlement before trial, saving us significant time and resources. His expertise is unquestionable. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, but his associate was always available as a backup. I would confidently recommend Stephen to any employer facing complex employment litigation.
